Grasp Score
59
touch-weighted living knowledge across the repo
Active humans
0 / 19
contributors active in last 90 days vs. all-time
AI-attributed minimum
≥ 0.0%
hard evidence only. Just 2% of commits
here carry any attribution signal, so the real share is higher
Inactive share
100.0%
work by authors with no commit in the window; silence, not proof of departure
Composition
34/45/18/3%
source / tests / docs / config share of scored work
Living, source only
58%
the headline recomputed over hand-written source alone

90-day-cliff variant reads 0%–88% across 60/90/180-day activity windows; read the width before the middle value
Dormant repository: no commits in 104 days. "Active"
is measured against today, not the repository's own last commit, so a project nobody has
touched recently scores low by definition. That is the intended reading: the score reflects
how much of this code has someone currently working on it, and here the answer is nobody.
For an archived or finished project, a low score describes its status rather than a problem
to fix.
Dark-code ranking
Modules ranked by comprehension risk: the unknown share, amplified by
ongoing change and thin ownership. The green meter is living knowledge.
| Module | Risk | Living knowledge | AI-attr. |
Inactive | Bus | Heat/180d |
| documentation | LOW 42 | | 0% | 100% | 0 | 53 |
| source | LOW 41 | | 0% | 100% | 0 | 108 |
| (root) | LOW 40 | | 0% | 100% | 0 | 26 |
| test | LOW 38 | | 0% | 100% | 0 | 171 |
One commit touched 83% of every file changed in this window. Wide, shallow commits, a formatter run or a license-header pass, add weight for their author across the whole surface while changing little. Worth looking at what that commit was before crediting the score to its author.
Public-repo caveat: "departed" includes drive-by contributors, overstating attrition
relative to a company repo with a real roster. Engagement is a proxy for comprehension.
Treat it as a potential indicator rather than a diagnosis.
